Sushant Singh Rajput heading to NASA for next film

Sushant Singh Rajput is well known for studying his roles and parts thoroughly.  For example, for his previous role in Dibakar Banerjee’s ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshy’ (2015), he cut off from speaking to his family for over three months. Now for his next project, ‘Chanda Mama Door Ke’, he is heading to NASA.

As reported in Mid Day, he commented, “I am playing an astronaut in the film and I just finished training on a simulator this week. Sanjay (director Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan) has given me around 15 books and eight documentaries, including For All Mankind (1989) that documents National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Apollo mission, to understand the life of astronauts,” and continued, “Sanjay has contacts in NASA. I will spend almost a month with them to understand an astronaut’s body language and mindset. Sanjay has already given a uniform with a badge. I wear it almost every day. I can’t wait to work on the film.”

Rajput is often questioned for going the extra mile for his roles, but he does not agree, “I don’t think there is anything like over-preparation. I do it for myself, and not to prove a point to anyone.”

Rajput, who celebrates his 31st birthday today, said, “A friend is planning a party. I will also be working for a few hours. I also like to go on a long bike riding alone on my birthday, keeping my mind free of thoughts.”
